A hiker’s paradise just outside of San Antonio

Commuter Jogging Trails Quaint

Encino was once merely a bedroom community for San Antonio, with few culinary or retail offerings to speak of. These days it’s a popular suburban community for renters who have outgrown the city or just want something a little more spacious and affordable.

Situated in the northern section of the city just outside the 1604 Loop, Encino holds its own with plenty of restaurants and shopping centers to enjoy. Breweries and bars neighbor pizzerias and taquerias at the Village at Stone Oak, a popular outdoor mall. There’s also Gold Canyon Park, and outdoor space just outside of Encino with plenty of hiking paths and lush expanses to experience.

There are apartments and homes to suit all budgets in this tranquil community, and all are less than a 30-minute drive from the heart of San Antonio.
